Today is Navami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Ravivara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:13 PM to 6:44 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:04 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
